He would agree that it feels as if no time has passed at all. There are not years between them, but only days. He feels like a child again (not that he ever feels or acts very grown), and finds himself enjoying the time by her side and wishing there was more of it. He was, admittedly, the sort of boy drawn to pretty girls in general but Vita was not just any pretty girl. She was Vita, and it felt like so much more.”What happened in Ischica?” he asks, because the truth is he doesn’t actually pay much attention to politics. Obviously he knows that Tephra went through a leadership change, but otherwise none of it seemed to matter much. His new queen was about as useful as the old one, or maybe less. Not that he should be judging because he wasn’t exactly helping out. ”You know, if you ever want to get away from Ischia, you can come here. We can be a temporary home.” Or maybe he’s simply saying that he could be a temporary home for her, but those are certainly not the words he manages to say.
Ah, what an idiot he is.
”I’ve mostly been uselessly lazing about here. Did go to Pangea on a diplomatic mission which was super boring, but met their Queen and apparently she has alien creatures under her control which is pretty cool.” Otherwise he hadn’t been doing much other than playing a spoiled prince, and he definitely hadn’t met anyone that eclipsed her. ”Definitely not as cool as you, though,” he adds, lightly bumping her shoulder.
The volcano seems to grow larger, the space between them and it closing easily. They’d be to the spring soon enough, but for now he keeps leading her through the kingdom in his winding path around the rivers of lava.
